The total number of confirmed cases is 29,025.

There have been no further deaths recorded with the death toll remaining at 1,777.

Dr. Ronan Glynn, Acting Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said; "While the number of cases today is the highest daily reported figure since May, the five-day moving average remains relatively stable at 115 cases per day. However, this is still a substantial number of cases and I urge everyone to double down on their efforts now - wash hands regularly, physically distance from others, wear face coverings where appropriate, avoid crowded areas, know the symptoms, isolate and contact your GP if you have any concerns.

"Please continue to reduce your social contacts so that the virus does not get the opportunity to spread further."
